     The Mole had been working very hard all the morning, spring-cleaning his little home. First with brooms, then with dusters; then on ladders and steps and chairs, with a brush and a pail of whitewash; till he had dust in his throat and eyes, and splashes of white-wash all over his black fur, and an aching back and weary arms.

     整个早上，鼹鼠都在忙活着，给他的小窝做大扫除。他先是拿扫帚，接着用掸子；然后站上梯子、台阶和椅子，手里拿着刷子和一桶石灰水；到最后，他的嘴里眼里都进了灰尘，黑色的毛发上沾满了白灰，腰酸背痛，手软脚麻。

2. (引申) 系统性的清理、重组
